.

Before the game, the locker room.

Wang Xiaohui habitually leaned on the locker, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Training these days is productive.

On his data panel, his skills have not changed much, but his physical fitness has made a small breakthrough.

With practice, you can improve your ability and develop your potential.

It is too difficult to improve on your own efforts.

At this moment, Wang Xiaohui is calculating the hard energy value.

'400 Hardness!It's still far from 1000! '

Yes, during the past two or three days, he has been trying to develop the hardness value,
Even on that day, he and Miss Lisa did a lot of difficult basketball training moves, and also took a test of the language of the straight man of steel,
He summed up some rules, as long as you make others feel that you are tough, you can get toughness points.

On the first day, I earned 250,

The next day, 55,

Day three, 52,

On the fourth day, which is today, he earned 43 hard points.

Over the past few days, he also found that in daily life and training, the hardness value he obtained is gradually stabilizing.

If this trend continues, it will take about 12 days for Wang Xiaohui to upgrade to Iron Warrior.

To be honest, this progress, this pace is too slow.

Can't get stronger quickly, Wang Xiaohui feels uncomfortable all over.

Nowadays!

this game!

For Wang Xiaohui, it is very important.

Because this is a big test for him.

If even high-intensity multiplayer sports such as competitions cannot be greatly improved, then he will have a hard time.

It takes nearly half a month to upgrade to the first level, so what about the second, third, and fourth levels after that?

I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it.

Therefore, today, in this game, he must do his best.

While Wang Xiaohui was still wandering, Justin Davis approached from the side.

This is the teammate who pushed Wang Xiaohui out of "sleep".

"Draymond, why are you still sleeping? Couldn't it be that little fairy Lisa who turned you into this?"

These days Wang Xiaohui has become a lot more cheerful and likes to joke with everyone.

He was even seen playing ball with Lisa from the cheerleading squad.

Justin seized the opportunity and naturally wanted to make fun of it.

Wang Xiaohui pushed the opponent,
"Justin, you can't wrong a good person. Lisa and I are innocent. I only talked about basketball with her that day."

"Brother, since you don't like it, can you introduce her to me?"

Good guy, so you came up with this idea.

Wang Xiaohui kindly advised:

"Man, what's so good about women? Do they have basketball for fun? I advise you, play well."

For some reason, after Wang Xiaohui said this, the figure of the girl holding the book appeared in his mind.

'If it was her, it should be more fun than basketball, right? '

Seeing the smile on Wang Xiaohui's mouth, Justin rolled his eyes.

He doesn't believe someone's words at all.

In his view, Wang Xiaohui is talking nonsense with his eyes open. You have so many female fans to choose from. Of course you can stand and talk without back pain. A full man doesn't know a hungry man.Cliff old Versailles!
"Oh, Draymond, you're really going too far."

On the other side, captain Jason Collins expressed support.

"Wang, if you let those female fans hear your words, they will definitely be heartbroken. However, I support you."

"Captain, ahem, thank you for your support."

Although he was far away from the opponent, Wang Xiaohui couldn't help but quietly retreated back.

He can't accept the kindness of captain Jason Collins.

Everyone chatted and talked about the mountains, and the time passed quickly.

"Get out!"

At the order of the coach, everyone at Stanford walked out of the locker room.

In the player channel, everyone pushed Wang Xiaohui, the mascot, to the center, and put their hands on Wang Xiaohui's shoulders, looking handsome.

"Stanford!"

"Definitely win!!!"

.

The game starts soon.

Wang Xiaohui did not get the chance to start as reported by the media, and was still sitting on the bench.

However, Wang Xiaohui's position on the bench has changed.

Before, Wang Xiaohui sat in the middle, but this time, he sat next to the head coach.

That's right!The top spot on the bench!
It was not because of the publicity of the external media, nor because he was regarded as a mascot, but Wang Xiaohui put it together himself.

In the past three days, Wang Xiaohui trained very hard every day, and the relationship with his teammates and coaches was also very harmonious.

In the last game, Wang Xiaohui's hard work infected everyone, and in training, Wang Xiaohui's positive attitude inspired everyone even more.

Of course, the most important thing is that Wang Xiaohui's defense in training has been recognized by the coach.

Strength is always in an important position.

On the bench, Wang Xiaohui watched the game silently, waiting for his chance to play.

On the field, the game went very smoothly.

Everyone at Stanford was very energetic today. At the beginning, they played a suppressive force. Whether it was the Collins Brothers on the inside or Casey Jacobson on the outside, they were all in good condition.

The University of Cincinnati did not have the future NBA star that Wang Xiaohui imagined. Except for No. 11 guard Kenny Satterfield, who is more prominent, the others are completely 'civilians'.

In 6 minutes, 18-7, Stanford established a double-digit advantage early.

At this time, one hand pressed down on Wang Xiaohui's back and patted it lightly.

"Wang, play."

"?"

Head coach Montgomery's sudden arrangement caused a flash of consternation on Wang Xiaohui's face, but it turned into surprise after a while.

"OK! I can't wait."

lol lol~~
Wang Xiaohui pressed his fingers, twisted his neck, and was about to walk towards the technical platform.

Montgomery hooked his shoulders,

"Wang, do you know your goal?"

"Coach, tell me straight up? Who is the target? I'll kill him as soon as I play!"

"number 11."

"understand!"

No. 11 is Cincinnati's combo guard Satterfield.

Although Cincinnati scored few points, Satterfield has scored a game-high 7 points.

"Then I'm going!"

Watching Wang Xiaohui walk to the technical table impatiently, the head coach Montgomery and the assistant coach on the bench whispered to each other.

"Johnny, can he really be our secret weapon?"

"Coach, you should have discovered these days that Wang is not a talented player, but he is a smart defender. Offensive requires talent, while defense requires spirituality. And he obviously has this quality that others don't have."

"I hope so."

Montgomery wasn't looking at this game, he was looking at his opponent in the finals, Duke!
Everyone said that Stanford, like Duke, was the favorite to win the championship, but Montgomery knew that the gap between the two teams was not small at all.

Duke has the best college student of the year, Shane Battier, and a very aggressive Jay Williams.A star player with many NBA potentials such as Boozer, Dunleavy, and Duhon.Their defense aside, their offense is a huge challenge for Stanford's defense.

Relying on the starters Ryan Mendes, Michael McDonald, and Casey Jacobson, the personal defense of these three guys is really not flattering.

However, pinning his hopes on a freshman, who is still an Asian player, Montgomery always felt that something was wrong.

And at this moment, exclamations came from the scene.

"Wow!!!"

Montgomery turned his head and found Wang Xiaohui who flew out of the field because of saving the ball.

Seeing him jumping out of the audience quickly, with an extremely high fighting spirit on his face, Montgomery suddenly smiled in relief.

'It's been a long time since I saw such a hard-working kid. '

On the court, Wang Xiaohui's mouth twitched as he watched the "+10 toughness value" keep appearing.

"Sure enough, my judgment is right!"

Afterwards, Wang Xiaohui began to act tougher, and his defensive skills were quickly revealed.

Single-handedly defending the opponent's main player Satterfield, Wang Xiaohui actually blocked the opponent's pass twice.

"Come on, Wang!"

Amid the cheers of the audience, Wang Xiaohui dunked again.

"Wow!"

After dunking, Wang Xiaohui beat his chest and roared excitedly towards the sidelines.

Brother is the toughest man in the audience!

The audience even shouted Wang Xiaohui's name directly.

"Wang, wang, wang!"

This was a goal that ignited the enthusiasm of Stanford fans, and it was also a goal that dispelled Cincinnati's desire to fight.

On the sidelines coach bench, Dawkins said in the head coach's ear with some joy:

"Coach, have you seen it? That kid seems to be born with a magical power."

Where can Montgomery not see?

Seeing that even with a big lead, he was still biting himself on the court, glaring at his opponent and yelling to boost morale, and doing push-ups to show his toughness during free throws.

Looking at the other teammates who were infected by him, although the opponent was a weaker team, none of them released water, and no one let down their vigilance;

Watching the audience chanting Wang Xiaohui's name continuously, listening to the high-pitched screams of the female fans,

Looking at all this, Montgomery nodded and shook his head again:

'It would be great if Wang's offensive ability was so outstanding. '
